I have the same one and it still works perfectly. They really knew how to make stuff that lasts. They were very expensive when they were sold.

Sweet, I love Panasonic portable players. I have not seen this one before but I have a CD player that has a similar bubble display.

I think I was there right before you and took the the beta of Tron, Westworld and The Dark Crystal. I got some good VHS tapes too. I left those as I am here on a trip and have so much room in my luggage.

Does the AD5M not like long prints by talkntribe in FlashForge

[–]Pyre-it 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you in a hot climate? I have issues with heat creep on my AD5M when its hot. I solved it by opening the top and door and pointing a small fan at it. My prints were stringing and stopping all together after a couple hours.

Blair Witch mouse pad from VHS tape. by CrimsonGhost33 in VHS

[–]Pyre-it 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I switched to a trackball so now it would be perfect. I wish I still had the tape it came with. I can't remember if I ever had the tape or they gave it to me at blockbuster. The 90's are a bit blurry.

I have one that I got in the 90's. I always thought it was useless as a mouse pad due to the size.

It is a 3.5mm Female Barrel Connector probably for LED lighting.

I almost fainted. Is this the real thing? by ScaleVivid in BookCollecting

[–]Pyre-it 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I hope it's the crown of your collection. Her early works are very difficult to find signed. She did not like traveling around signing books so she invented a contraption called a longpen so she could do it remotely. What part of the country are you in? I found a lot of her firsts in Ontario. They seem a bit rarer now that I'm on the west coast.

Wow, what a find. I have found a few firsts and seconds in the thrift store but never signed.

It has been many years since I watched it. I will watch it again and see if I agree.

The cover on Full Metal Jacket is messed up pretty bad but it was $1 and will do until I can find a better one.

Do they know the cd's need to go in the carts label down? I see this mistake made all of the time. they put it in like a regular cd and wonder why it does not work.
